Hippodrome Casino About – The Story Behind Our Theatre, Casino and West End Home

About Us

The Hippodrome Casino About story begins with a landmark entertainment building that opened as the Hippodrome theatre in 1900. We opened the casino in 2012, adding a new chapter to a venue that had already played a long role in West End entertainment. Today, we preserve that theatrical character while using the building for gaming, dining, bars, live performances and social occasions.


Our location places us directly above Leicester Square Underground station, with pedestrian access available from Charing Cross Road, Leicester Square and Little Newport Street. Inside, the building unfolds across multiple levels and brings together three casino environments, poker facilities, electronic gaming and a range of hospitality spaces. The architecture gives different areas their own identity while allowing guests to move naturally between gaming, dining and entertainment.


Our experience is not centred on gaming alone. Heliot Steakhouse, Chop Chop by Four Seasons, rooftop terraces, Permission Lounge, Archive & Myth and other hospitality spaces allow guests to build a visit around food, drinks and conversation as well as the casino floor. Magic Mike Live and our wider programme of events add another dimension, while private spaces support dinners, meetings and celebrations.


Service, hospitality and responsible play are central to the way we welcome guests. Our team supports visitors throughout the building, while Hippodrome Rewards connects eligible gaming and hospitality activity with member benefits. We also provide PlaySmart information and safer-gambling support so that gaming remains an informed entertainment choice and guests can access help when they need it.
